2020 Mazda CX-30
Broaden Your Horizons (video)

“Mazda CX-30 is more than an entirely new entrant in the rapidly growing compact crossover SUV category…it’s a bold new statement of what such cars should be” – Ryo Yanagisawa, Mazda CX-30 Chief Designer

Exterior Design

With ‘Sleek & Bold’ as its design concept, CX-30’s styling simultaneously realizes two contradictory elements: the flowing beauty of a coupe and the bold toughness of an SUV.

The lower body features arresting black cladding to create the sleekly flowing proportions of a coupe. At the same time, the cladding provides an impression of stability and power worthy of an SUV. Rear fenders stand proud from the inward-tapering rear cabin and the liftgate has a correspondingly 
narrowed arch shape. In combination, this creates an alluring and sensuously powerful rear end with a wide, dynamic stance like a sports car. 


Interior Design

The design of CX-30’s cabin is based on Mazda’s human-centred design philosophy and traditional Japanese architecture with its use of Ma or empty space.
The basic structure revolves around two areas with contrasting characteristics: a snug and condensed cockpit area for the driver, and a clean, airy open space around the front passenger.

Luggage capacity is a generous 430 litres, enough to simultaneously accommodate a large, global- standard baby buggy and a carry-on bag. The liftgate opening is 1,020mm wide, while the height of the lip is a relatively low 731mm, making it easier to load and unload heavy or bulky cargo. 


Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

The Active Driving Display, meters and centre display were all redesigned to present information in a simple fashion, while the fonts used were unified to create a pleasing and consistent look. CX-30 adopts an 8.8-inch wide-screen centre display. Offering simplified operation that requires only the use of the commander control, it also features a new intuitive guidance system that makes the commander control easier to operate. 


Powertrain

The latest Skyactiv G2.0 gasoline engine delivers enhanced driving performance, fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness. It adopts a cylinder deactivation system that shuts down cylinders 1 and 4 in light- load situations such as constant-speed cruising. This contributes to greatly reduced pumping loss and lowered mechanical resistance. Additional powertrain options may be available in Canada upon its release.

i-ACTIV AWD

Thanks to a newly developed control system and new technologies to reduce friction, i-Activ AWD delivers a refined and stable ride in any situation and real-world fuel economy almost as good as a front-wheel drive vehicle. 


Active safety: i-Activsense

The Mazda Proactive Safety philosophy guides all the company’s research and development efforts in safety performance, driving advances in every area from safety fundamentals, such as the driving position, through passive safety technologies to advanced i-Activsense features. CX-30 is equipped with numerous safety technologies born from these research endeavours including but not limited to:

  • Mazda’s Driver Monitoring system 

  • Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) 

  • Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS)
